I don't write for the sake of it. I like to put some thought into my posts because I care for you all - ahem. This is why I have not posted recently. No time to think and carefully write out. It's already bad enough I sometimes don't check my spelling until days later.

That said, nothing beats presenting some clips that grab my eye for the time being. Check out my mock Couric interview on the right side of my page.

-In the 'Finally' department Nancy Lee is no longer head of the CBC. I can't think of any profound positives during her tenure. The day she let the talented Chris Cuthbert form CBC Sports go was the day I realized something was possibly slightly ajar with her. She also failed to grasp that the CBC was a public broadcaster - or at least that's what its mandate is supposed to be. The CBC is a government institution that acts like a corporation. To me this is an oxymoron. Consider when she once said that Toronto was the key to the CBC's ratings.

-We often hear that lawyers are the most hated people. In a way, the reliance on lawyers in American society has weakened the core of its social fabric. Specifically, unscrupulous lawyers were all too willing to encourage lawsuits. They have caused much social angst and confusion. They say lack of responsibility and accountability is a serious problem in our society and some lawyers have done their part to bring this on just as anybody.

Surely, they aren't the only ones, right? I heard someone say the other day they hate tow companies. What about minute maids (Green Onions here)? Personally, the only group to be more dangerous and have run unchecked in pop culture are ad agencies. They have done arguably the worse damage. It's a monopoly of the worst kind.

Feel free to offer your 'most hated job's and the worst kind of monopolies in the world today.

-Remember acid rain? Me neither. It's all global warming now.

-Here's a cultural irony. I saw a commercial for Akwasasne Casino. Wasn't gambling part of the reason for the social demise of Natives? Now they figure to profit off it. And why not? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!

Gotta run.
